Windows 10: How to customise a keyboard in 2020???

Hi,


How the heck do I customise a keyboard in 2020??


I want to change the function of certain keys to make it more ergonomic, but the old Keyboard Layout Creator is out of date, can't get it to work on windows 10. The new Microsoft Keyboard and Mouse center wont' recognise my keyboard, just a mechanical wired keyboard, not microsoft branded.


Seems like such a simple thing but so complicated! Any help is much appreciated!

Customisation of Windows 10 On-Screen Virtual Keyboard

I want to customise the icons, it's corresponding VK values(functionality), position of the keys as well as the skin of the on-screen keyboard provided in Windows 10. Is is possible to customise some/all of the above? If so, please suggest how.

 

Desktop Customisation Thread

I noticed that although TPU has a lot of space devoted to the customisation of PC's, it has very little in the way of customisation when it comes to the actual software, therefore, i have created this thread so that people can share and discuss the ways they customise the software of their PC.

This includes Desktop backgrounds, Themes, Rainmeter set-ups, even customisations of specific programs, basically customising software in general.

I don't have too much to work with at the moment, but by the end i hope to have a thread full of instructions on how to do just about any modifications or customisation to your software, starting with basic's, all the way over to stuff that should only be considered by the most skilled people.

1)Desktop backgrounds
This is a list of sites containing many great desktop backgrounds, for now these are just recommendations i got from kierend but if anyone else has any sites just post or PM me and i'll add them

• Imageboard Scraper
• http://wallbase.cc/start/
• 4walled.org -&nbsp4walled Resources and Information.

2)themes
Just the one for now

• Placebo
  [*]

3)Rainmeter
I will have a more in depth walkthrough later, but for now he're one i did on the UK clubhouse, it shows you how to modify the omnimo theme so instead of the full theme you just get a catalog of gadgets and tools on your desktop

Spoiler: Walkthrough Download this --> http://rainmeter.googlecode.com/files/Rainmeter-2.0.exe, run the installer, select either 32bit or 64, it doesn't matter

download this --> http://www.deviantart.com/download/...o_4_0_for_rainmeter_by_fediafedia-d2mhn7l.zip --> unzip it --> run the setup file

--> the omnimo theme will start, but it will configure your PC in a windows phone 7 like fashion, just select the correct screen resolution, weather code etc, and let it set itself up

Important bit now, right click one of the panel, and go through the menu to :\WP7\background, and click 'BG.INI' to disable it

you will then have a load of free panels floating on your desktop, you can now move them remove them, and somewhere on your desktop will be an arrow in a circle, click this and it will give you a load of new panels to add, which will do a large variety of different features
Overall, here is a short list i have composed, more will follow later
Omnimo 10 for Rainmeter --> Very customisable, you can do or make basically any desktop you want

More will follow soon (probably tomorrow as i don't have much time for now, but if anyone wants to add anything please post and share it with us*Smile )

 

Keyboard problem in Windows 10

Hi David,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to check if the issue persists when you connect another keyboard to your system.

If the issue is with the keyboard, then suggest you to update the keyboard drivers by following the steps below.

• 
  Press Windows key + X and select
  Device Manager from the list.
  
• 
  Expand ‘Keyboard’ from the list.
  
• 
  Right click on the driver and select ‘update driver software’ and follow the prompts.
  

Hope the information is helpful.
